Send a photo our way of the high school athlete in your life who is signing today. Let us know their high school, the college they have committed to and the sport that they play so PennLive can help celebrate the new stage of their careers.

You can email the information and photo to submissions@pennlive.com. As we receive them, we will add them to a post that you can share along with your high school athlete's big news.
